Reach This City: Keep the Main Thing the Main Thing

Nehemiah 6:1-14

Recap:
In chapter 6:1-14 Nehemiah models what it looks like to keep the main thing the main thing. He filters every opportunity, every meeting, and every decision through the filter of God's call on his life. In other words if a particular relationship, decision, or meeting wouldn't help him accomplish the vision God had given him, he knew not to bother with it. Tonight will be about assessing our "filtering" skills and developing a game plan to see God's vision for our lives realized.   

-What has God called you to accomplish (this can be as general as the call to make disciples or as specific as a call to over seas missions)?

-What are you doing to accomplish this call (be honest)?

-What may be holding you back or distracting you from accomplishing God's vision for your life (a relationship, a negative pattern of behavior, poor calendar arrangement. etc...)?

-Do you really value God's vision for your life or has answering these questions revealed that you've really been more interested in your own vision?

-If we're honest, most of us will have to admit that on a daily and hourly basis we live out our vision for our lives rather than God's vision. How can we alter that this week and keep the main thing the main thing?
